My PC specs are on my profile. Im looking for an upgrade but I dont know which one is the most cost effective for my use. My primary use for PC is purely gaming, but not competitively. Currently I'm thinking of this:
Option 1:
Buy new monitor. My current monitor is 8 years old, it still good but Im thinking of buying either good quality IPS/VA ones or high refresh 144Hz. I don't think of buying higher resolution than 1080p.
Monitor options: Samsung C24FG70 (VA 1080p), BenQ XL2411Z (1080p 144Hz TN)
Option 2:
Buy a new CPU. Since I only game at 1080p I thinking of buying faster CPU to handle my 980Ti better at this resolution.
CPU options: Ryzen 5 1600 or i5 8600K. Or just simple upgrade to 4770K or 4790K for 8 thread goodness. Both of this could clock higher than mine i5 too.
Option 3:
Buy new GPU. Yes 980 Ti is still runs great but it runs rather warm inside my case, I need to put additional fan behind the GPU to cool it further. So I thinking of selling my card and upgrade to GTX 1080. Should run cooler, faster and extra 2GB of VRAM.
Or if you have a better suggestion that might be better. I'm all ears.
